Dallas Arboretum Presents Dallas Blooms: Peace, Love and Flower Power with Explosions of Color Throughout the 66-Acre Garden

"IBERIABANK is honored to be a partner of the Dallas Arboretum and to sponsor Dallas Blooms, an exquisite outdoor event that is an enriching part of the cultural experience in North Texas," said Daryl Kirkham, Dallas Market President of IBERIABANK. "Besides benefiting our local economy in a very meaningful way, Dallas Blooms is a breathtaking festival and a magnificent way to kick off spring with family and friends."

Each weekend during Dallas Blooms will highlight a different 1960s theme and incorporate headlines, music, TV, fads and fashion from the swinging '60s. Some of these weekend themes include Vibrations of a Nation "Peace Love Freedom Fest," a music festival throughout the gardens, Ed Sullivan Show-Celebrity Weekend starring Arboretum volunteers reenacting celebrity appearances, and Fashion Forward Weekend, where guests can create flower wreaths, dress paper dolls, and get henna tattoos.

Mary Brinegar, Dallas Arboretum president and CEO, said, "Dallas Blooms is the largest display of tulips in a public garden anywhere west of Holland. Later in the festival, thousands of azaleas and hundreds of Japanese cherry trees blossom, leaving breathtaking color at every turn. Guests are sure to have an unforgettable experience this spring in our world class garden."

Dallas Blooms features 100 varieties of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, pansies, violas, poppies and thousands of other spring-blooming annuals and perennials.  The finale of this spring celebration is the mass flowering of the garden's collection of 3,000 azaleas that bloom during the end of April.  

Throughout Dallas Blooms, there are many activities, special concerts and events to celebrate spring's welcome. More information can be found at dallasarboretum.org.
